i assume that if there is a need to add additional permanent seating in the future where the berms currently are that would provide some infrastructure

I'm wondering if they might consider placing outfield bleachers if the need arises. Not a whole lot of area available but I think some stands where the Skanska trailers sit might be a good spot.

Wow. It looks like it is coming down to the wire.
It's a large commercial construction project. They all come down to the wire.
Too many decisions to make, decision makers that need a say, people trying to justify paychecks, and the inherent difficulty of constructing things on unpredictable sites in unpredictable weather.
Seats in the outfield? Hell, I'm just hoping they have seats in the upper deck. 78 hours to 1st pitch to and it's still solid concrete?
Trying to be optimistic, but it's getting too close for comfort... And speaking of comfort, ass on concrete ain't it!

The berm walls were a cost saving measure.
Could we not at least give them a stucco-type of covering to give it the appearance of concrete? The pink retaining walls are not very aesthetically pleasing, considering how amazing the rest of the stadium is shaping up. The walls of the center circular section of the right field berm could be covered in the red brick and then stucco the rest. What would be the projected cost of that?
My only other suggestion would be to paint the railings green.

Just drove past on Welborn and it looked like they were working on installing bleachers on the 1st base side starting in 201.
I think seats in right field could be kinda cool, a homerun deck so to speak. You could have a walk way underneath where the current sidewalk is.

ust saw the replica that got sent out. with the angle/location of the berms(if the replica is accurate), what are we calling on over/under for people getting tagged with line drives?
I thought the berms would be protected by netting?
Are the aluminum bleachers maroon?
The area beyond the outfield wall was part of the long-term plan some time ago. I imagine they'd still like to do something out there, but you've got to be selling out the stadium consistently to move that direction.
Part of that might also hinge on if Union Pacific ever moves the rail outside town.

Best sponsor ever.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
The driver fits the exact profile of someone who knows nothing about tire load index or load range.
Dang - SKF beat me to it. I saw that sign at the gas station at 40 & 6 and snapped a pic. Where is that thing going to be placed? It has the exact same markings on the other side as well.

So there's at least two of those.
Stay off the grass!!!
gotcha - It looked more like a two sided sign on the trailer.
Was puzzling to say the least.

So did we ever do anything about this guy, or do we still have a restless spirit trapped in foul territory down the left field line?
We would probably be well served to help him to the afterlife before he sabotages our 21 game homestand.

I know the playground is supposed to be, but not sure about the actual berms themselves. Thus my question.
berms are not protected by the net. net doesnt even go all the way to dugouts. net over playground.
Someone should take that large picture nad plug in some special forcs security at the top os the stadium.
Now go to work photoshop people.

Out here right now and they are pouring the concrete for more sidewalks. There are at least 6 lifts out here right now. Some of the guys are scrubbing the brick.
Just saw 6+ tv boxes. They were 60 inch 3D TVs.

Nice. For the suites or club I'd presume.
The bleacher brackets are almost done in the new 201 and 202. Statboy they are working on your row.
And the yellow line is up on the outfield wall.
3D? The game will be in full HD 3D outsde...
